Shed that problem

The greenhouse attached to the south side of the shed has had an enduring problem. The corrugated plastic roof and sides leave gaps at the joints which allows a cold gale to whistle through. I resolved to sort this out today. A combination of trimming the roof exactly to the edge, adding overlapping cladding and a bit of gaffer tape solved the problem. Without the draft, the inside already felt cosy. A few shelves to come and the job's done.
